This email serves as a final reminder in preparation for this year's Arcadia Multis, set for Arcadia HS on Thursday-Friday, April 5-6, 2012.

 

This year’s two-day competition will once again be contested under USATF combined-events rules. A limited number of competitors have been  accepted to compete in order to facilitate an efficient time schedule and optimum competition conditions. Males will compete in the decathlon and females will compete in the heptathlon, with all athletes competing “unattached”. 

 

The standard events will be conducted in each competition, meaning the javelin will also be contested as one of the events in each. The javelin competition will be contested at Azusa Pacific University, located 15 minutes from Arcadia High. Transportation by bus between Arcadia High School and Azusa Pacific University will be provided by the meet for both coach and athlete, if needed.  

 

The full two-day competition schedule is below.

 

All competitors are encouraged to bring their own implements, although a limited number of shot and javelin implements will be available for use. All implements will be weighed and certified beforehand. Additionally, automatic timing will be used for the competition, with each competitor supplied printed results at the conclusion of each event. There will also be an individual with extensive multi-events experience who will be announcing the two-day event.

 

Since most competitors will be staying locally overnight in between the two competition days, please know that “Restaurant Row” is located approximately two miles from Arcadia High School and features many well-known eating establishments.

 

Please respond to this email or email ArcadiaInvite@aol.com to confirm your intent to compete on Thursday-Friday. 

 

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us via email at: ArcadiaInvite@aol.com

ENTRY FEE:  
$60 per entry, due on the first day of the competition. Competitors must also have current USATF annual membership card, which is $19.95 per year. Registration forms will be made available before the meet starts on Thursday for those without current (active) USATF membership.

 The Arcadia Multis entry fee must be paid separately from any funds paid to the school for the Arcadia Invitational that weekend. The entry fee cannot be paid with a check that combines both the Arcadia Multis fee with the Arcadia Invitational entry fee.
